HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cornsilk Combination by Pure Herbs

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,953 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Cornsilk Combination contains 3 active ingredients. The product includes uva-ursi leaf extract, traditionally used for urinary tract support.

It also contains cornsilk stamen, stigma, and style extract, and stoneroot root extract, though the specific roles of these last two are not detailed in the product information we hold. There are no inactive ingredients listed for this liquid formula.

Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Leans against

The strongest graded evidence we hold for the stated purpose leans against a benefit.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: maintain healthy urinary tract and relieve discomfort.
  • We looked for evidence on: Urinary tract infections (UTIs), urinary discomfort, bladder health, urinary frequency.
  • The closest evidence on file: Uva Ursi is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for uva-ursi in this product is mixed. It is rated possibly ineffective for urinary tract infections (UTIs).

For bronchitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the evidence is insufficient to make a reliable rating. We hold no effectiveness data for cornsilk stamen, stigma, and style extract or stoneroot root extract in our records.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Uva Ursi

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Uva-ursi is generally well tolerated at low doses over the short term. The most common side effects are diarrhea, nausea, stomach upset, and vomiting.

At very high doses — 20 grams or more of the dried herb — serious effects including convulsions, delirium, shortness of breath, and tinnitus have been reported. Do not use this product long-term or at high doses.

Uva-ursi is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus and safety data are lacking. It's also not recommended while breastfeeding due to insufficient safety information.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Uva Ursi

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Uva Ursi.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 804 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you take this product, check whether you're on any medications processed by your liver's CYP2C19 or CYP3A4 enzymes, drugs cleared through glucuronidation, lithium, or P-glycoprotein substrates — all rated Moderate or Minor severity. If you take urinary acidifying agents, uva-ursi may not work as intended.

We could not check cornsilk stamen, stigma, and style extract or stoneroot root extract for drug interactions.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with graded evidence leaning against its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is mainly relevant if you're looking for traditional urinary tract support, but the evidence for uva-ursi in that role is weak. If you take any prescription medications — especially those processed by your liver, lithium, or urinary acidifying agents — check your exact medications with the tool on this page before you start.

Keep it short-term and at the recommended dose, and avoid it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Cornsilk Combination with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Uva-Ursi Leaf Extract6 drug types · 803 drugs

Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, uva ursi may decrease the metabolism of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro, uva ursi appears to inhibit cytochrome CYP2C19. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, uva ursi may decrease the metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro, uva ursi appears to inhibit CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Theoretically, uva ursi may increase levels of drugs metabolized by glucuronidation.
In vitro, uva ursi extract appears to strongly inhibit UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 (UGT1A1). However, uva ursi extract does not appear to inhibit UGT1A1 in animal models. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, uva ursi may increase lithium levels, necessitating a decrease in dose.
Uva ursi may have diuretic properties. Diuretics may increase lithium reabsorption with sodium in the proximal tubule of the kidney. Theoretically, uva ursi might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Urinary Acidifying Agents

Effects of uva ursi in the urinary tract may be reduced by urinary acidifying agents.
Uva ursi seems to work best in alkaline urine. Theoretically, taking uva ursi with medications known to acidify the urine may decrease any effects of uva ursi on the urinary tract.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Theoretically, uva ursi may alter the levels of drugs transported by P-glycoprotein.
In vitro, uva ursi appears to inhibit the multi-drug transporter protein, P-glycoprotein. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
